"You don't take a photograph, you make it"-ansel adams

I’ve been a photographer for as long as I can remember, as a child I was always obsessed with my parents camera and capturing the world around me. My camera is an extension of my eye, I see the world through glass and love it.

When people ask me what kind of photographer I am, I don't have an answer. My heart and soul belong to the camera and whatever happens to be in front of my lens. I've shot almost everything, babies, families, weddings, models, commercial, concert photography, band photo, corporate portraits, lifestyle, documentary. But lately I feel I am becoming more authentic in my work, breaking free from the over processed, over posed fake reality photography.

I currently have two series that I am extremely proud of. First is "You are beautiful: a project of true beauty" and "3600" both of these series really speak to and from my soul. You can see both of them here on my website.

I am always looking for new and exciting people to work with. Contact me if you would like to set up a session or want to collaborate.
